Episode 10

MARCELE

Dinner was going well, I met Alicia who is Bianca's twin sister. I didn't even know he had twin sisters, in fact, I don't know anything about him.

The two are very similar physically, but they act differently emotionally. Alicia has a sweet voice, she is more affectionate while Bianca is very nice, but more precise in her actions and words.

Dona Beatriz, always very kind and polite, seems like an angel. This woman, for the first time, I spoke with his parents, they are identical, I still can't tell them apart.

One is more caring and the other is more serious, Alicia explained to me that the more serious one is Benicio, he's always been more reserved.

When dinner was served, Miguel discreetly switched our plates.

Dona Beatriz explained that he didn't eat asparagus, and even so, he barely touched his food.

We were served a drink, the waiter was acting very strange, Dona Beatriz went to get the drink and he abruptly turned the tray, the drink that was left was precisely the one she was going to take.

I took it, but Miguel said not to drink it, just pretend. Alicia called me to go to the bathroom as soon as we got to the hallway, she spoke close to my ear.

ALICIA - Someone's behind us, stay calm, Miguel is coming.

We continued looking ahead, entered the bathroom, and both went into the same stall. Alicia locked the stall door and pulled a gun out of her purse, and signaled me to be quiet.

We heard men's voices, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest I was so scared.

Until I heard a familiar voice, it was Bianca, but my heart only calmed down when I heard Miguel talking to Bordini.

MIGUEL - Bordini, you're going to suffer until your soul leaves your body.

We remained silent until Bianca told us to open the stall. As soon as Alicia opened it, there were two unconscious men with bleeding foreheads and Miguel was gone.

Only one of his parents was there, the more affectionate one. We went back to the table and Dona Beatriz took my hand in comfort, asked where the others were.

DANTE - Taking care of Bordini.

We waited a while until Miguel came back with his father, he called us to leave.

I saw that his hands were red, but I preferred not to say anything since he asked me to play the silent game, which I prefer to be mute around him.

We went back home just like we went, truly mute, neither of us said a peep.

As soon as we got home I went straight to my room, showered and lay down.

I got a message from Alicia asking me to go out tomorrow, which is her day off.

📨 MARCELE - I'll check with Miguel, I'll send you the answer shortly so we can arrange the time.

I put my robe over my nightgown and knocked on Miguel's bedroom door. When he opened it, I was mesmerized, he was wearing only sweatpants, no shirt, his abdomen was toned, full of muscles.

MIGUEL - Do you need anything?

That deep, husky voice snapped me out of my daydream. I was already practically drooling over the man.

MARCELE - No, no, I just came to ask if I can go out with Alicia tomorrow?

MIGUEL - Of course you can, but you have to take two security guards. I'll have them ready and informed tomorrow. Anything else?

MARCELE - No, that was all, thank you very much.

I said, still looking at that wonderful body, wow, what a handsome man, I don't think there is a more handsome man than Miguel.

I went back to my room in a hurry, slammed the door and lay down, I replied to Alicia that everything was fine and we arranged to go out in the morning and spend the day out.

We talked a lot, she is really nice.

My heart was still pounding, my breathing ragged, and my throat dry, he's very attractive, too bad our marriage is a facade.

Oh, Marcele, you're so silly thinking such a thing about a man who forced you to marry him. Actually, he didn't force me, he dragged me, carried me on his shoulders, and in the end didn't ask me if that's what I wanted.

He doesn't like me, I don't like him either, so we'll stay like this, each in their own corner, it's best for both of us.

I kept fiddling with my cell phone, I already learned a few things during dinner, Alicia taught me a few things, especially in the research application, social network I only have the messaging app, Dona Beatriz advised me not to have an open profile to the public, that could make me a target, more than I already am.

And since I'm very afraid, I don't want to risk it, I never liked to tempt fate, I'm more of the cautious profile type.

It took me a long time to fall asleep, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Miguel's damn beautiful, hot, wonderful body, it was etched in my mind, I even dreamed about him.

I woke up, I was already getting ready to go out with Alicia, as soon as I went down for breakfast Miguel was all handsome in a suit at the table.

I just said hello and went to have my coffee, Alicia arrived shortly after, ate with me and we left, she took me to some tourist spots, I was with two security guards and she was with two more and they weren't giving us any space.

She asked my security guards to back off a bit, but they said they couldn't, it's the Don's orders.

MARCELE - What is a Don?

ALICIA - The boss, the Don, makes the big decisions, resolves internal conflicts and keeps everyone in line. As the largest "shareholder" in the organization, he must be protected from ties to the bottom of the pyramid. Do you get it?

MARCELE - Yes.

So, I'm married to the boss, the Don took me from Bordini's hands and married me, but why?
